Flounce post parodies

Good-bye cruel world

Toytown Germany > Discussion forum > Themes > Metachat
Inflatablewoman
This thread is your opportunity to practice writing your flounce post. I'll start...

I am an 'it' getter. I always get 'it', no matter what the 'it' is, I get 'it'. This forum just doesnt get 'it'.

I have tried over the years to make the forum get 'it', but it's with a heavy heart that I have to tell you that I am taking my understanding of 'it' elsewhere. I am done here. I know, I know, that you will miss me, but this has got to be done. Maybe while I am away you will all start to get 'it', and it will be safe for me to come back, but I wont know that you have finally got 'it' as I will never come back ever. This forum will be dead to me.

I have met some great people through this forum, some of them could even be consider to be 'it' getters, but by and large you are all dumb. It could only be the Toytown forum that spawns a thread three pages long on what colour a tennis ball is (they are yellow, ffs). The endless threads on religion, the talks of cliques, the curry wars and just the whole of the Adult Chat forum has turned me off what used to be for me a safe haven from work during the week.

As for the accusations made by my fellow Toytowner, HotChick83. I can only say that God will be my only judge, and that the use of the flying helmet and celery like that has been acceptable in my family for generations. You are just another of the forum non-'it' getters. You have destroyed so much without actually saying or posting anything, that it makes me disgusted.

As for my forum disciples, do not fear! (I shall get another username and PM you shortly so we can stay in touch) My legend will continue for I am the only 'it' getter and the forum will miss me!!!

Not bad, IW - but no mention of throwing stones at coffins, therefore only a B+ I'm afraid.

Here is a classic flounce-parody posted recently by none other than our esteemed Ed Bob. Definitely difficult to beat...

QUOTE (Editor Bob @ Jan 18 2006, 11:51 am) *
Congratulations to the people who managed to undo everything TT has done and bring it down with just a few topics -- a few topics which they say they didn't even mean to post, a few topics they says they used just to have a fun dig at others and help pass the boredom of their workday.

Well, some words used wrongly can convey powerful messages and the moment you put them in front of 5000 people, the damage is already done.

No I am not mad at anyone cuz we already clarfied things and all is well. I just hope others will think twice before using such language on a public forum because it could have very serious consequences.

I don't know if there is anything that feels more horrible than being the target of whinging and complaints. If there is any, then I do not know because right now I am more devastated than I have ever been in my life. If nothing else, it made me realize that even a web guru like me could cry when he is down and hurt.

To all those literally hundreds of TTers I have met, partied and hung around with in the three years week after week, if I have ever said or done anything to offend you in anyway here is your chance to throw a stone at my coffin so please come forward and make sure you strike it hard.

Before I leave, I just want to thank each one of you who made my days so memorable. Thanks for the Tuesday nites Keydeck. Any curry nights, geez where do I even begin -- so many memories, so many good times and so many nice people.

Special thanks to the rest of the mod team for my last TT outing until wee hours. Wish I could recall everything I said or done at 4 am, but after almost 9 hours of drinking until beer was coming out of our ears everything was and still is just a blur. Whatever moderation policies that offended anyone in my drunken state, once again I apologize. I know, I know, we already clarifed things and we are cool but just wanna say again thats all.

Adios to TT

This is it. I am depressed. Toytown is depressing me lately. Stuff like Determining which social class people belong to. Did I come here to get depressed? No. mad.gif I came here to get entertained. I warned you and you didn't stop. The thread went on and on. I got more depressed. Then I went and spilled my black all over other threads. This is it. I am leaving. It's all your fault. Goodbye cruel world. Where have all the free spirits gone?
Ulysses
Good riddance.
MajorBummer
.. and before I finally go I just wanted to thank all my good friends at TT for not depressing me with their bourgeois attitudes and petty outlooks on life. And I want to tell people like Ulysses, who desperately need an assegaai up their arse, that they have succeeded in spoiling this forum for me forever. Goodbye! (really this time)
Inflatablewoman
I wonder if you can guess who I am trying to imitate:

Topic title: I am gone

Like the dogs quake in the moring, I find myself in the position where I can not move. I am going to leave the forum, to those that have like the sun in the morning shone their golden rays on the wet stones of the river.

To the TT ladies, please call me, we can go on dates, just like the snake in the parlour.

I have more than to much said, so I now click the button for the last time.
Topsy
Not bad - whatever happened to him, anyway? He left without a flounce. sad.gif

Right enough is enough. I am through with this shit. When I first joined it was great, I could finally talk shit of a childish nature with other english speakers, providing a light antidote to having to talk about seriuous stuff like insurance with the germans. Sure we had a laugh back then, but at least it was possible to tell what was a laugh and what wasnt. We gave each other shit, but at least it was good natured shit. I was able to get Toytown puss almost every tuesday night, and noone gossipped about it, because the whole site was usually if not involved in it, at least in the same room videoing it!

Then everything went downhill, starting with touch fucking rugby. Which looking back now, was just another one of those things that have continued to destroy the soul of TT to this day. The cliques.

It wasnt long before 9 out of ten posts were about touch fucking rugby. It took over rapidly, or should I say rabidly. Which was sad, because it was only a handful of newbies that seemed to give a shit about it. The large majority of us were fat lazy bastards for whom sport was a chocolate bar. As you could well imagine, the introduction of touch fucking rugby, was NOT a welcome event, and they were duely banished.

Then came the information seekers. Annoying short term visitors to Munich who abused the site for nothing other than where to buy peanut butter, or find a flat, or a german course. They would typically ask one question read all their answers, then fuck right off, not to be seen for another 6 months until the next time they needed to ask where in munich they could find decent cheese, carpet cleaner or someone to clean their windows. And not once did any of these selfish bastards start a decent, interesting, worthwhile thread about another TTers sex life, or containing naked pictures, or abusing indians.

Then came the next clique, the Americans, or Americans as we always used to call them, and it was incredible what a division was caused between the Americans and the english speakers. The slightest criticism of foreign policy or american cars was condemned as "anti-americanism" and triggered off days of insult trading, and making jokes at each others expense. Actually from our side, it was only really jokes, but the Americans didnt get them, and treated them as insults. Once Bush won his second election, and the Americans were able to redirect their wrath towards middle eastern people they calmed down somewhat.

Then curry nights became too big, and finished too late, and I missed my train back home time and time again. So that thursdays became impossible. I was either starving having decided not to go to curry night, or tired, having slept about 2 hours at the train station. It was like a whole day from every week was stolen from me and I can never get it back.

But the main reason I have to escape now, is psychological. My entire worldview on humanity is now totally screwed up. Back then, we all had a fairly healthy view on humour, and sex, pretty much all being swingers and engaging in group sex on a fairly regular basis, and exchanging good natured jibes and banter, that was clearly only intended as a joke. But then something changed, all of a sudden the serious cunts, and prudes arrived. Upon trying to arrange a nice little orgy, firstly just a minority of people, would look at you with disgust, as if they hadnt drunken anywhere near enough to take something like that in the way it was intended, as a sleazy yet genuine come-on, and most of the time they really hadnt drunken enough!

Eventually so many prudes joined up, that it became almost impossible to enjoy the usual post-drinks orgy that we all enjoyed back in the good old days.

It was the same with the friendly banter. Calling each other cunts and wankers used to be fairly common around here, then people started to take offence, considering it some sort of insult, even threatening legal action! And demanding something they called respect, as if this were something other than a childish website for shit talking!

We did get used to dealing with such boring morons using a technique such as irony. The funniest joke of all became one that noone else got. But eventually, people caught onto that too, and started using it against us, and it even got to the stage where I couldnt tell the difference between someone using irony pretending to understand a post that someone else falsey understood to be a joke and someone genuinly taking a joke as if it were something that another person laughed at pretending to think it wasnt and someone who was making a joke based on someones ironic non-getting of a post pretending to be a joke!

So thats it, this site has turned me from a well balanced, funny guy, into a boring prude with no sense of humour. Im even starting to pick up an american accent, and have an interest in sports!

Im outta here, off to talk to my german co-workers about how to find a place in a kindergarten in case I ever have kids.

Its time to take my bow and exit stage left. I have enjoyed this role more than most and my co-stars have often been both talented and glamorous, but all acts must end and so it is with this one.

This audience seems to have heard all my best material, the catcalls and jeers now drown out the applause and laughter. The comic foils now just parry my oh so witty remarks, as for the romantic interest she is no longer interested in romance.

There are now new roles to play and other stages to play them on and to those who would call me pretentious I can but say "mea culpa".

Some great flounces on Wikipedia - Missing Wikipedians.

Some of them could just well have been posted on TT by TT'ers. Note: the bold typefacing is mine

QUOTE
User:12.144.5.2 - Since I started editing Wikipedia experience has taught me that it is a mistake to do so,and I will no longer do so and will discourage everyone I can from doing so.Wikipedia is riddled with clique-building fanatics determined to deify the lowest common denominator and convinced that sufficient repetition that Wikipedia's flaws are virtues will make it so. ... So...I leave behind this self-aggrandizing gathering with its absurd overemphasis on contemporary popular culture.Its incessant turning of every name on a list where the bare presence of the name on the list represents the whole of the name's encyclopedic noteworthiness,into a link for a new article. And its vicious treatment of those who don't give up theirselves to its diseased whole. My knowledge and expertise,on whatever subject,will no longer be contributed to this bloated monster.

QUOTE
User:Chameleon - He pledges never again to indulge in the huge waste of time that is Wikipedia.

QUOTE
User:Faedra - Due to ... the banality of several users I have decided to call it a day at Wikipedia: ... the arrogance of some demonstrates only the pointlessness of continuing.

QUOTE
User:Fonzy - I am annoucing my retirement from Wikipedia. ... I prefered Wikipedia more when it was smaller and I felt part of a small community, now Wikipedia has got bigger (which is great) but I dont feel as useful, or as important, I just feel like part of a mob.

QUOTE
User:GK - When I first found out about the Wikipedia my first thought was "Wow! That's a great idea". ... It took me way too long to realize the underlying facts about the way the Wikipedia works. In this libertarian anarchy, any process is only as functional as it's most dysfunctional participant. What that means is that in too many areas the inmates are in charge of the asylum.

QUOTE
User:HighHopes - While WP is a great idea, it is 'led' by a clan of individuals who are far too concerned with what to call VfD and giving each other barnstars for fun to notice that around them most articles feature a standard of writing that would embarrass a drunk four-year-old. Seriously, this encyclopedia is a mess and no number of Wikipedia meet-ups or gazing at RSS feeds (come on, get a life) will ever solve that.

QUOTE
User:Mintguy - I just don't think I can be bothered with Wikipedia anymore. It has stopped being fun. The lunatics are taking over the asylum. ... I said I wouldn't be forced out by trolls and vandals, but I guess I have been. So many good editors have stopped editing here recently and I go to join their legions. Farewell one and all.
Bubble Gum
QUOTE
I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I stopped the show
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand

I think George Michael says it all. I can't be Bubble Gum anymore. There's too much pressure and after 2.5 years I'm starting to buckle. The meetups, drinking, trying to be bubbly all the time - it's just not me. I hate beer, I don't like meeting new people, and I don't even like chewing gum.

I need to go find out who I really am. It's time to leave this 'Toytown' and go out into the big bad world and find my unbubbley, sober self.

Farewell.

Well that's it ...if BubbleG is gone then this flavor of the month is also gone (postdated 18th of April 2006)

OK. Deep breaths - I think I can do this, I'm leaving TT - I know I know you'll miss my love, some will miss their censorship efforts and Don will miss the red meat of the site but I can't take it anymore. The number of people who simply do not know how to use the English language has finally got to me. If I call you a fat cunt then please do me the courtesy to look up the meaning of the words "fat" and "cunt" before you hit the reply button. I could write more but frankly I'm more the picture posting kind. Goodbye.

Yeti
In a sudden boxershort dampening rush of realisation, it became clear to me yesterday that Toytown is actually on the internet and may in fact be part of the internet.

After repeated yet ignored requests to change this sordid state of affairs I will go now and take that long walk off the edge of this flat earth of ours.

I'm also considering leaving Toytown. As a member of a minority group, I feel I can no longer take any more of what I see as blatant discrimination. We are repeatedly referred to as scum and retards, and as a practising bigot, I feel deeply offended. What next? Satirical cartoons of my brethren? I am sickened by this lack of tolerance for my belief system, much of it coming from those who indeed preach the concept of tolerance and understanding.

Can everyone just stop going on about Bush? I did not vote for him, and neither did any of my friends or family. In fact I don't know of a single fellow American that voted for Bush. So it is not my fault.

Also can you damn well stop getting us confused with the Canadians. It is a different country for God's sake. Mabe they all voted for Bush, but it wasn't me.

I love Europe, I love the USA, I don't stereotype people based on where they are from. When I meet Irish I don't assume they're alcoholics, I don't assume all French are arrogant chain-smokers, and I don't figure the Italians are all lazy. I wish people on both sides of the Atlantic sould see through their bias and not generalize 300,000,000 people as being a certain way.

I have to agree with you there JE. Why does everyone on Toytown generalise?

Pick n mix mate, pick n mix.

1 - I'm thuper and you're not, you suck because you can't see this. Bye.
2 - I'm obviously a genius in my field, so I never have to provide hard evidence to back up my outlandish claims and how dare hundreds of people call me on it. Bullshit. Bye.
3 - I came to Germany for love and a blowjob and I can't get a job washing ducks and none of you dumbasses will answer a straight question for me or go out and find that duckwashing job for me. Outta here.
4 - When I first started using this website, everyone was so polite and informed and vibrant discussion was the norm. Now the lingua franca of the site has taken on a decidedly blue hue, and, quite frankly, I no longer feel comfortable among the hoipolloi-collared masses. I'm back off to the West Wing to skin monkeys and hump my Land Rover and braise business cards.
5 - Why should I tell any of you how much I want for this ironing board? No, we never had sex on it. Poster #3, I'm outraged that you would call me a retard in public. I fell down those stairs in my own wheelchair. Oh well, I'll be back in lovely Arsecansaw next week and I'll never visit this site again. Cya.
6 - Me and my wife have never been so insulted in our lives. How dare you stalk us and post pictures of me grinding her chunky ass with my porky lovetruncheon. As vegetarians, we are disgusted by such lewd behaviour. You'll be hearing from our lawyers. Goodbye.
7 - H8rs l8rz.
8 - Too many Brits gives one the shits/Yanks are planks/Kiwis are PeeWeeners/Irish are a bunch of lazy alcoholics/Native English speakers are bad peepz/Blame Canada, Blame Canada/I can't do English properly, how dare you extract the urine/fucking Eurotrash fags, there's only one sport on the planet/too many stupid smilies/insert nationality here and then something bad about it, shake for 5 posts, leave to settle, then FLOUNCE.
9 - Yer ma
10 - Some people obviously have too much time on their hands, I'm reporting you to your supervisor.

So I'm flouncing!
Ruthie
I used to cry in my pillow at night. I was alone, lonely, sad and scared.

Then I discovered Toytown. I crawled out from under my rock, blinking at the bright sunlight that was Keydeck. I felt warm and protected under Editor Bob's protective, watchful gaze. Sarabyrd was like the mother I never had, and BadDoggie the big brother I always wished I had had. Every time Don Riina posted, I knew I wasn't alone in the world.

But then something happened. I posted, and people didn't like what I posted. People called me stupid, uneducated. They called me American! Then they made jokes about fat Americans, and lots of people said they didn't like my dog!

Now, every time I read Toytown, I have to go and cry in my pillow. But I can't stop reading it, and I can't stop posting. It's a vicious cycle, and I already see the vultures circling above, waiting for my final keystroke.

I think it is time for me to crawl back under my rock. I like it there. No one makes me sad there. I can cry in my pillow and no one will make fun of me.

Good-bye, my almost lover...

Edit - I hope this is cringe-worthy enough for Kommentarlos. If not, please feel free to make suggestions for improvement smile.gif

Maybe you could add something about Toby howling at the moon.
Ruthie
Oh yeah ... since I have become addicted to Toytown, I never take my dog out for walks anymore and his daily activity consists of sadly howling at the moon from my balcony, where he spends most of his lonely existence. Rather than risk the RSPCA taking him away from me, I have made the very difficult decision between canine companion and TT --- and TT is the LOSER! So long, suckers!

(on a side note, Tobi DID just randomly howl at the moon from the balcony the other day. Weird, cos usually I have to encourage him to howl...)

(Sobs) Ruthless, uh, I mean Ruthie, that was a five hankie flounce. I'm filled to the brim with emotion from reading it.

How, just how could you do this to the TT members who wait daily with baited breath to read and re-read your every post?

If I am one of the many posters who may have ridiculed and dismissed your posts as simply foolish rheteoric I will now sincerely retract all of those posts in an effort to encourage you to continue to befuddle,elude, and amaze us. Please know I'm full of overwhelming guilt for the anguish my post may have caused you. What would my daily life and other members' lives be like without you bringing such profound joy to our empty and boring lives.So please, please, please don't flounce!!

Don't go!!! Don't go!!! I beg of you, just please don't go. Don't leave us this way laugh.gif !

Thanks for the tissues, LR *sniff sniff*

I just need some time to think this all over. I need to walk away and not look back.

Maybe when some time has passed, I can forget all the pain and sorrow.

"When I first joined TT I thought I had found a place to keep contact with otehr like minded poeple. A place where things would be discussed in a mature, non purile, non chilish manor.

Since joining, every week I have seen my expectation losered, no, shatterd until the frail frame on which they hung, stands empty.

Nothng but the hole in my, what I would consider, normal expectations remains.

So I say good bay, not see you later or til next time.

You are a buch of imiture fucking wankers who would hide under the table if the kind of arguments that happen on here broke out anywhere near you.

The lot of you couldn't hold a normal chat with a 4 year old regarding the colour of the ball in any childrens book.

Most of you would retort to the comment 'but the ball is red, I can see it' with 'yeah, but you are just short, under 18, you have no view, could you prove that in the real world, its not a ball, its a picture of a ball'..

Yes, you are all that fucking picky when you fell, know, sense you are wrong.

Most of you are very picky, for 16 hurs a day, assuming you sleep for 8 hours.

How you can live with knowing that your only path to feeling right is slagging someone off on an internet forum and then avoiding the topic so you dont lose that 'I was right' feeling I do not know.

It takes a very shallow person to do that and around here, Colin farrell would appear very deep indeed.

In fact, that salour who eats spinich is more dimentional and believebale as a person than 99% of you.

Fuck you all, I leave you to you failed lives, failed relationships and your inability to be able to hold a decent conversation. A group of people so stupid, so stupid they complain about the place they live in, complain about the culture yet, like a fly banging its head against a closed window when 2 inches to the right is an open one, they stay. They could get up, do something and leave.

But no, they sit at their cmputer loking for company in their idiotic mysery.

People that are so think they have to ask where to find basic stuff when its in every market, people so inward looking that they actualy thought 'mamma home made, only cooked, canned and sold in are x in country y' would be available all over the world.

Fucking cunt, wank dumb asses that the lot of you are."

If you are going to go out, do it with bile, hate and loathing, thats what I say.

As a very hammy actor once said "For hates sake I spit my last breath at thee"..
